TEN JURYMEN TAKEN
TO TRY THE MILLIHGTON.KEN.
NEEDY MURDER CASE. "
Because Of MemDership I'm
the Same order.

The work Of impsnneling the Jury in
the Millington-K Kennedy murder case
was resumed yesterday forenoon, an at
the hour of adjournment in the after
noon ten Jurors had been accepted, as
follows: ]. K. Dole, j d Randall, Fl.
M. Hampton, f. NJ White, A. O.
Brooks, ]. A. Matthews, j. l.. Wood,
l.. Schneider, O. b. Russell and ID. W.
Goodwin. An eleventh Juror, W. G.
Wright, had been accepted aud had
taken his seat, but he informed the
Judge that he felt that he could not
conscientiously do justice as between
the State and the defendant and asked
to be excused, giving as a reason that
he and the defendant, George II. Mil.
lington, were members of the same
secret society, Knightsof Pythiss, and
he felt that his oath as knight OF
PSthias would conflict with his oath as
a Juror in the case. Judge DuBose
stated the case to the counsel, but
they declined to challenge, leaving 1t
to the Court to act, which the Court
did by discharging the juror, to which
DEFENDANTS counsel took exceptions,
which were noted.
A Mr.. OBrien, an employee Of the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad,
stated that ne could not do Justice TO
the accused, % he believed man
guilty Of murder who would shoot
another In the back. No testimony
cou'd change his opinion on this point.
He was excused, but Judge DuBose
put him on the regular panel, saying
he would make first class Juror, and
he was Just such q man GO wss wanted.
Several who had been summoned and
who Jailed to appear when their names
were called had fines Of $50 entered
against them.
The case does no. seem 60 far to
create very much public interest out
side OF those summoned as jurors, but
few being In attendance as spectators,
but when the case opens the attend
ance will no doubt increase. The
counsel engaged are taking their time,
and amuse themselves by poking fun
at each other, Justice Winters, OF the
defense, being the head and front Of
the fanny business. A vsniTe Of fifty
was ordered for this morning, and
court adjourned for the day.

IL Was Shameful.

CHICAGO, III, June 2s.-0hicago
beat Boston today In way which
was shameful. In the first inning the
visitors got two runs by virtue Of
Burns's error and a couple OF hits, and
acted as II they expected to do some
thing II Kelly was laid of. Afterward,
however, Chicago made ak runs in
one inning, and Immediately after
ward repeated the performance, thus
practically deciding the contest. 10
the seventh inning Van Haltern was
put In to pitch and did remarkably
well, striking out such batsmsn as
Horning, Nash and Johnston. The
general opinion here is that when he
becomes used to Eastern ways he will
prove the best pitcher OF the year.

Reechsr RIahes HIS Debut.

PirTsBURa, Pa, June 2a,-The Pitts
burgs played q perfect game today
and again showed up strong at the
bat. Galvin's great pitching and the
fine support he received kept the
Wsshingtons from scoring single
run. Bsecher, the new man with the
high batting average from Hartford,
played his first game with the Pitts
burgs today. He made q good I'm
presaion and is expected to materially
strengthen the nine. He hit the ball
hard every time he went to the bat
and knocked out q pretty line two
base hit, fielded well and threw accur-
stely. In the fourth inning DAlrymple
had his fingers crushed while stealing
second, Fields taking his place. Four
scattered singles and o base on balls
was the best record the Washingtons
could make against Calvin. Hank
0'Day was hit hard, seven OF the eight
runs Of the home team BEING earned.

NEW YoEK, June 2S.-About 1900
spectators saw the game at Staten
Island today, between the Baltimores

took the lead, and easily maintained
It to the end. The crowd was dissp.

Of the four runs. Kelly pitched for
Nashville and the locals found his de-

support tat he received he would

The Women Odd Fellows.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
Schuyler ColfaX was the author OF
the degree of Rebekah. His connec-
tion with the order of Odd Fellows be
for admission, and was afterWard mi
tiated into South Bend, (Ind.l Lodge
No. %, and Joined the encampment
branch of the order soon after.
In September, 1851, he wrote from
Baltimore: I'VE have been busy be-
yOnd all measure this week, working
about eleven hours day, and during
every moment of leisure, electioneer-
ing steadily for my pet measure-the
ladies' degree. 1t has been opposed
most strenuously; all sorts of Objec-
speeches against it made; all sorts of
attempts to stihe it. You can judge,
therefore, of my qualification, when
nearly all of its friends had given it up
as hopeless, and when it's opponents
were certain of victory, when tell you
that at this moment we have carried it
by Al to 81"
Colfax conferred the degree of Re-
bekah upon thousands, and in Dasha-
way hall, at San Francisco, In 1865, he
conferred the degree on the wives and
widows of seventy-five of his California
brethren, in the presence of over 200,
400 of whom were women. More than
20, 900 women have taken the degree.
To-day the ''ladies' degree" occupies a
position by the side of the others of the
order.
Schuyler Colfax always attended his
lodge when at home, no matter how
deeply he was engrossed in the affairs
of state or business, and after his re-
tirement from public life he spent
much time in lecturing on the lessons
to be derived from the order.
